Message box won't stay on screen

A Primal Nut

What can I do to get the output of a c++ program to remain on the screen for more than a split second. I'm making a program to call a run-time dll which displays the current time on the screen, but when I compile it the black output screen flashes for a split second on the screen. How do I get it to stay for longer? No errors or warnings or reported. The lines of text referring to a message box in the call program are;

MessageBox(NULL,"Error loading DLL","",MB_OK);

and in the DLL there are two message boxes;

MessageBox(NULL,displaytime,"DLL for current time and date",MB_OK);
MessageBox(NULL,TEXT,"The Current Time is",MB_OK);

Anyone know what usually causes this? Will it be useful to post the full code?

#include<iostream>

int main()
{
while(true)
{
std::cout << "Press enter key";

if(std::cin.peek() == '\n') // looks to see if the next character in the
standard input stream is enter
{
std::cin.ignore(1000,'\n'); // clear the stream
break; // break the loop
}
else
{
std::cin.ignore(1000, '\n');
continue;
}
}

std::cout << "while broken";

return 0;
}
